Can't start a practice match.

Just upgraded to pro. Now for whatever reason, when I start a practice match I get the grey screen with the red Quake symbol, and at the bottom it says "quit", and then nothing happens. I can enter training center levels and I can also join online games. What gives?

*copies Lorfa's post and takes it out of a quote since it looks like a reply to him*"This is most likely because you don't have the map you're trying to play on.

If you hit CTRL+ALT+~ you will see the error message, probably says something like map not found.

Either have a friend invite you to a server with the map you want at which point it will automatically download, or have a premium/pro member just send you the maps."

However, having a friend send you the maps is against the ToS, but I don't really think id would have any issues if a single user uploaded the maps to distribute them for this problem. (I would, but I can't at the moment)

Something is definitely wrong here and I think we are need of a bug fix.

I think if every map was downloaded for every user regardless of their subscription level then the problem would be solved. I mean, the Standards can play every map now, they'd just have to wait for the next rotation.

No mention of error, and hard to test anything w/o being premium. Would there be a way to maybe only make non-premium maps show in non-premium players' selection list? Or does that have something to do with the "rotation" that was mentioned. I've only been playing about a week, so i apologize if i didn't rtfm yet Only wish i'd gotten into quake back in its hayday.
